Relevant Information:

This species has been placed in some
quarters in either the Ancistomus or Hemiancistrus
genera as there are differences in body length from Peckoltia
and also them having a naked ventral region, there is a good argument
for this case. Dorsal spines (total): 2; Dorsal soft rays (total):
7 - 7; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 4. Small spots on the head
with spots becoming very large on the caudal peduncle and caudal
fin; body very elongated; odontodes on opercle absent, rarely
with one or two odontodes in adults. Found in medium to large
rivers among boulders. Aquarium care: Very good
aquarium additions and several specimens can be kept in a medium
sized aquarium. Diet: Mostly vegetarian but can
also be fed frozen and live feeds of mosquito larvae and brine
shrimp.
